Agirre has called for a "public repair" of Irura's Bat Palace on the grounds that "progress" is not enough
According to the mayor, for months the debate has gone beyond the legal issue, with very serious accusations being made against the people affected and against the PNV, so he has clearly said that it is not enough to leave what happened behind.
Following the order orderingthe filing of the case for the demolition of the Irurak Bat Palace inGetxo , the mayor of Getxo , Amaia Agirre, has stated that it is not enough to leave behind what happened and has called for "public reparation"for the damage caused to the people affected, to the image of the institution it represents and to the PNV itself.
Agirre appeared on Saturday after the order for the Irura Bat Palace case, which was in municipal custody and was demolished in August 2024 for the construction of luxury homes, was made public only yesterday. The judge has agreed to the final dismissal and filing ofthe proceedings for lack of an urban planning and prevarication offence.
"The accusationsmade notonly called into question an administrative decision, but also called into question the professionalism of municipal staff, the honesty of public officials and the actions of an entire institution, "he said.
He has also complained that it was circulated among the public that municipal political leaders and technicians deliberately acted against the law , so he believes that today it is not enough to leave behind what happenedbecausethat "would not be fair and would not be enough".
"When there has been public damage, reparation must also be public. For months there havebeen very serious accusations. The professionalism of municipal workers has been called into question. The honour of public officials has been called into question time and time again. Three councillors had to resign. Three councillors of thePNV were also singled out for belonging to our party.
In his view, the people affected "areentitled to more than just silence. "" It is time to ask for reflection from those who have led this strategy of confrontation for months, when we now know that it was not illegal, from those who presented it as manifest illegality, "he added.
In this regard, the mayor has called for "accountability"in order to accept the content of thecourt decision. "When the indication has been made public, the reparation must also be made public," concluded Aguirre, who has also stressed that there are people whose name and honour "deserve to be restored with the same clarity with which they were questioned."
